Training Aids Used:

- Holding wrists and forearms tight does not maintain lag - keep wrists soft to allow the weight of the club head to pull back naturally
- Drill: Weight your club and make tiny one-handed swings, feeling the flow & staying very loose
- Add in some weight shift with each swing, keeping weight over the ankles
- Remove the weight & swing again, keeping the wrist flat in the backswing
- Make longer (9 to 3) swings, one hand at a time, focusing on keeping the wrist supple
- With right hand, the club should be vertical when it is in front of the left leg
- With left hand, the club should still be parallel to the ground when the hand is at the right thigh
- Don't turn your body - the chest should still point at the ball
- Use both hands for full 9 to 3 Drill, keeping left wrist flat & extending right arm as in Throw the Ball Drill
How to build lag in your golf swing
If you want to increase your consistency and your power, then you have to understand the importance of lag in your golf swing. Most golfers throw their lag away right from the top of their downswings. By the time they reach impact, there's nothing left to hit with.
If this describes you, this drills in this golf instruction video will be ones that you'll want to do over and over. You'll see a huge improvement in your impact position, ball flight control, trajectory and distance!
